Firm Description

Planning for the care of an elderly or disabled loved one can be extremely challenging.  It is often very difficult and frustrating for people to find good, sensible, and valuable information on the choices and options available.  For many people, trying to navigate these issues without the best information available is like walking blindfolded through a minefield, and mistakes can be very costly and time-consuming to correct.

Steve Jankower has spent many years dealing with the complex legal issues faced by families with elderly, disabled, and special needs members.  He has helped hundreds of families with sensible and effective planning techniques designed to make sure that their loved ones are protected now and in the future and their estates are protected from the devastating costs of long term care.

As the father of a daughter with special needs, Steve personally understands the challenges these individuals and their families face every day.  His goal for his clients is the same as the one for his daughter - to create a "safety net" designed to protect her now and in the future from huge expenses associated with making sure she has the proper care and supervision she will always need and require. 

Steve has the experience and confidence to help families effectively deal with these difficult legal problems.  Call us to schedule an appointment and we will analyze your total situation and provide you with sensible recommendations for the care and needs of your loved ones
